About the Photoshopping, I ran into a bit of a problem, there. Because I was working with the original low-res 256-color animated GIF, and not the full-resolution original sequence, simply filtering out the color green didn't work properly. It either didn't trim out enough, or started to erase pixels inside him, etc. The green even bled into his shoes, in most frames. So I ended up manually tracing his outline for every frame. Otherwise, I would have had this out sooner. :)

And as for Samuel L. Jackson, I figured his "...." expression would suffice for showing his opinion of Colbert's barrel-rolling performace. Might have thrown off the sync if he starts talking too soon or too late. Finally, about Colbert being tiny, the angle of the floor in the Jedi Council room is different from the floor on his green screen room. He either would have been too small in the distance or too large up close.

About 2 or 3 nights. Finished up at around 6AM yesterday. Although automatic green removal didn't work, the background did help with determining where the outline was. For spots where the green bled into his suit/shoes, I selected those areas and brought their color saturation levels down towards gray. Luckily, his suit is grayscale.
